Man splashes cash on huge billboard advert for psychic in Manchester with no contact information... because genuine mediums 'know where to apply'

A desperate bloke in need of a clairvoyant has splashed out on a giant billboard ad in Manchester - but included NO contact information, claiming a genuine medium will 'know where to apply'.

The mystery man contacted signage company Mandoemedia and forked out an unspecified amount for the advert to go live near a busy commuter route on August 18. It reads 'psychic wanted - you know where to apply' - as they claimed a real medium 'would know exactly when, where, and how to contact them'.

Puzzled passersby on Fairfield Street have been left scratching their heads at the cryptic ad and why their services are needed. Steve Baxter, from Mandoemedia.com, said "We were contacted by an individual to place this advert seeking a psychic.

"Initially we thought it was a joke but the individual explained they were deeply serious and wanted to find a genuine psychic. They felt the best way to do that would be to put out a 'psychic wanted advert with no contact information because a good psychic would know exactly when, where, and how to contact them.

"It wasn’t made clear exactly why they were in need of a psychic, maybe they had been swindled by a fake psychic in the past or perhaps they want clarity on their future, we don’t know. But we are seriously invested in this experiment and it would be incredible if it actually works."
